Sarah Shockley: ...you come to know yourself through difficult journeys | According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 20% of the adult population in the United States suffers from chronic pain.

Carina Chocano...it's still not a level playing field for women | As a child, our guest, Carina Chocano, was confused by the mixed messages all around her about how to be a woman. The messages told her who she could be and who she couldn't. After spending five years as a movie critic, Carina came to understand how the stories our culture tells us about what it means to be a girl limit our lives and shape our destinies. She's written about that in her new book, titled 'You Play the Girl: On Playboy Bunnies, Stepford Wives, Train Wrecks, & Other Mixed Messages'. You can learn more about Carina by going to her website at https://www.carinachocano.com/about And you can buy the book at https://www.amazon.com/You-Play-Girl-Stepford-Messages-ebook/dp/B01912P4NA | 4/29/2018 | Free | View in iTunes |

Nobody Told Me
Everybody has a “nobody told me” moment, and in this lively podcast, Jan Black and Laura Owens unearth things you never knew, or even thought about, from people of all sorts. So much to learn from their guests! Timely and thought-provoking in what feels like a cozy chat among friends.
Amazing show
I have picked up a lot of useful information from Nobody Told Me! It's time well-spent.
Love you guys
Jan and Laura are like friends who have invited you to join them for a small party with a great guest.
